When it comes to Audemars Piguet 26420, the first factory that comes to mind is APS Factory. Unfortunately, APS Factory got hit by a raid and their supply is having issues, so watch fans had to pull out the comparison charts again and take a second look at DDF Factory, which wasn’t really that noticeable before.
This isn’t to say DDF Factory is bad. In fact, in some ways they do even better than APS Factory. It’s just that the market reputation for DDF Factory 1:1 Best Edition Swiss Replica Watches hasn’t built up enough yet.
DDF Factory Audemars Piguet 26420 Frosted Gold Weighted Version: Weight 205g
This DDF Factory 26420 Frosted Gold yellow gold version perfectly replicates the wearing feel of the genuine precious metal version. The same model from APS Factory only weighs a bit over 180g, while this DDF Factory weighted version replica watches actually weighs 205.7g. In terms of hand feel, the DDF Factory weighted version is closer to the genuine wearing experience.
How does DDF Factory achieve standard weight?
They can reach about 90% of the genuine weight. The case doesn’t use the usual hollow steel case to reduce weight; instead they use a solid steel blank with tungsten weight blocks added inside. Even the caseback was thickened, and the clasp also got extra weight added.
How is the wearing comfort after a month on the wrist?
DDF Factory has released many models for the Audemars Piguet 26420 replica watches, and I definitely can’t try on all of them, so I picked a popular model, ref:26420SO.OO.A600CA.01, also known as Desert Storm. I really like this name, it’s bold. The case is 43mm, my wrist is 18.3cm. The first feeling when I put it on: everything just fits right. What surprised me most is that the ends of the lugs don’t go past the edge of my wrist. Visually it looks full but not too abrupt. If your wrist is under 17cm, you might find it a bit big, but if your wrist is above 17.5cm, that’s the sweet spot for this watch.

Weighted Version DDF Factory Audemars Piguet 26420 Replica Watch Price
With APS Factory Audemars Piguet supply tight, DDF Factory replica watch prices are generally above $650. Compared to APS Factory and APF Factory, the weighted version is priced higher. The main reasons:
Material cost is high: DDF Factory gave up the industry’s usual hollow steel case method and used solid steel blanks with tungsten weight filling. Also, the caseback and clasp were thickened and weighted, making production cost much higher than normal versions.
Stricter QC on details: the bezel screws don’t have the common misalignment or gap issues seen on the market, and they perfectly replicate the genuine screw tolerance.
